, and they are often underutilized resources, so how do we improve access to those? there is a lot to learn from this that could be applied to the public comments. >> thank you. let's open it up. do we have a microphone for people to come to? ok, we will just it old school. if you have a question, raise your hand, and speak loudly. concise questions will be greatly appreciated. >> [inaudible] >> did everyone here that? ok. >> something that is really amazing about the sharing economy is it is being pioneered in cities. cities exist because of sharing because it is more efficient and more productive to collaborate and share resources, and that is something we are seeing, that our biggest markets are big metropolitan cities, which is different when you look at the tourism industry throughout the world. i mean, of course, we will be in the beach towns, but, the real innovative factor here is it is happening in cities, and it is because the way we work and live is different. we are more transient, mobile, flexible. we do not stay in the same job for our entire lives. the way we live differently dict

and underutilized areas. this is the actual need we have. in june of this year we were awarded by the puc the -- a grant in the amount of 1,318,485 to undertake this project, which requires the mou before you today. that particular project we have proposed would address these particular items. it would replace irrigation system. replace that completely quick cover line, install a booster pump to increase water pressure, improve irrigation system layout and design, replace unusable turf with drought tolerant plantings, where appropriate in park design, and install a weather-based smart irrigation controller. with this project complete our estimated water reduction would be one-third reduction or $2,545,192 gallons annually, which is very substantive. that being the project that we proposed, the puc has made available this money for the project. it is available to the end of fiscal year 13-14. their grant funding covers 57% of the total project costs. remaining 43% of the alamo square cost would be subsidized by the department's capital budget in the amount not to exceed 1 million. if you w

building and preserve 4 acres of underutilized parking lots and industrial structures into an urban mixed use campus, we are getting that done. the muscone expansion project will assure our convention center remains a linchpin of our city's tourism sector and you know we have world class tourism in this city and by expanding the muscone center, we're going to capture a market that has been waiting to come to san francisco and not to other sin cities. i've talked to a lot of people and they have slogans like what stayness someplace happens in someplace, happens in someplace and stays in someplace. whatever that is. but you know in san francisco when we hold conventions here and get all these great technology kupb conventions we're having, we want the whole world to know about it. we have nothing to hide. so we have a different slogan. along our waterfront, mixed use developments are being planned for seawall lot 337 and pier 70 that will create vibrant neighborhoods and in just 5 years we're going to welcome home golden state warriors here to san francisco.

the most sorely underutilized tools for change. it is in the context of civil rights as we talked about with the lgbt community. we have also, as tom mentioned, seen and we were reading about all too frequently a kind of bullying and harassment for students of certain religious groups. in our guidance we also made it clear while we don't have jurisdiction over religion in the same way we don't over sexual orientation, what we're seeing in all of these -- and all of these are case by case, you can't just broad sweep the laws -- when students are bullied and harassed in this world because of religion, in most instances a lot of that is not about race or religion, it's because. perception that students that share certain religious traits also share certain ethnicities and that is discrimination and that falls under title 6. it is not just about enforcing the laws that make it clear how the laws apply. it is, though, as we said, you can't get at this through enforcement alone. this is a culture that tolerates this and in too many ways promotes it. as tom mentioned we have an unprecedented

issue. the government still sits on an enormous quantity of spectrum that is either an underutilized or not utilized at all. sometime over the next few years, we have to break that loose and create substantially more spectrum that is available to the private sector for use in wireless telephony and telecommunications. i think that will happen, although every time one makes a step, one finds resistance. so i think the single most important policy issue for us the next few years is to make certain the spectrum available for wireless telecommunication is adequate to support the growth of the industry, that consumers and the firms want to take us to. >> i think the spectrum issue it is of foremost importance. i think there was a huge innovation made in 1994. myself and others recommend to congress that they start to auction spectrum rather than give it away. one might remember, if you go back and read various books, since roger brought up lyndon johnson, ladybird johnson was given all sport of rigid all sorts of ready a stations. even as late as the 1990's, during the clinton administrat

good, solid people. they were uniquely underutilized. there are endangered species i've seen more in the last year than i have lisa jackson the head of they yay who is a fantastic administrator. >> rose: david brooks, let me go back to the debt problem of which you have said the national debt problem is a medicare problem. what should we do now about health care? >> well, i have my own preferred approach which i have no confidence in which is the premium support approach which is basically what mitt romney -- but say romney loses, there's still another approach proposed by people which basically depends on getting rid of the fee for service system. as long as we're paying for quantity, not quality, we're going to have a problem. and as long as people are unwilling to face end-of-life issues we're going to have a problem andthat's a moral national conversation and by the way it's not the people who are dieing who want to spend every last dollar on getting hip replacement when you're 98, it's the families of the people who are dying who don't want to have that unpleasant feeling of

schools are bursting with students n. poorer secs of the city, the buildings are underutilized, largely because of the growth of free charter schools. he's give -- she's given up on the schools of her sixth grade daughter went here from headstart to sixth grade and now the daughter is in a publicly funded charter school, which mom thinks is pushing the daughter harder. >> the schools are not up to where they need to be. here they say my daughter was proficient. charter school, she got bs and cs. that shouldn't have been. >> reporter: farrahby hope is one of 20 d.c. public school buildings that are going to be closed and it's largely the growth of the charter schools in d.c., which is pushing the chancellor to call for more closures. the school system closed 23 other schools in 2008. >> in some wards, more than half of all public school students are attending charter schools, and many of our charter schools have plans to continue to grow by grade level and by adding additional campuses. >> reporter: chancellor henderson argues it costs more money per student to keep underenrolled school

on more affordable redevelopment around underutilized metro stations like along the green line in prince george's county. reporting live in arlington. >>> heads up if you're planning to take the dulles airport road next week. drainage installation road work and that means overnight closures and the eastbound lanes to the exit to route 123 ask the dulles connector road will start closing at 9:00 monday night and last through 5:00 a.m. saturday. eastbound airport access traffic will be on the dulles connector road. all part of the dulles corridor and metro rail project. >>> food trucks are a lunchtime fixture for thousands of d.c. employees who work downtown. as derek ward explains, it's threatening to put them out of business. >> reporter: the food trucks have seemed to multiply over the past couple of years. you can get just about anything. >> i just tasted some beef brisket from the barbecue truck down there. >> reporter: but many vaendors what they're getting is squeezed from d.c. regulatory agency and the city's department of transportation. >> no idea of balancing needs just we're no

their peers which is an underutilized resource in the classroom not only to help them but when you have others you learned and gives the teacher lens on how the classes doing. when you are lecturing it's very hard to know where people are. you might be able to pull them ask a few questions but it's hard to go back to these blank faces. now doing problem-solving together you can do much more -- understand her her students learn diagnosed him so that is the flip. what used to be homered in the classroom and what used to be lectures are now at home. it makes a classroom interactive i focus on a locked in the book, let's go further because even the flip assumes all the students will cover the same material on the same page together and what i talk a lot about is you know we have all been indoctrinated into the system and when i'm talking about the system i'm not talking about weapons should be the student-teacher ratio or charter or public or private. i'm talking about grouping kids by age base forward and covering certain subjects and the grades are based on berryville understanding. we just assu

at home to help them out. they have an underutilized resource in the classroom not only to help you but when you learn to the to help others you learn better and also gives the teacher when you are lecturing it's very hard to know where people are. you might be able to ask them questions but it's hard. now if you are doing problem-solving to get there you can do much more -- you can understand where students are and diagnose them so that's the flip what used to be home work in the classroom and used to be electors are now at home. it makes the classroom interactive and they get lectures at their time and peace. what i focus on in the book is let's go even further because even the flip assumes all the students are going to cover the same material at the same piece together and what i talk about a lot is we've all been indoctrinated in the system whether it is a charter or private i'm talking to the grouping kids by age face courts, they cover the set pace but we keep pushing them forward i go to great lengths to show as well this is a relatively new phenomenon. it's not that new and

too quickly. if you've got a lot of underutilized capacity in your economy, high unemployment relative to what it should be, that's the last point at which you want to actually embark upon serious deficit reduction. you want to wait until the economy's back on track. >> eliot: you said something critical that people should remember. the reason these elements of the fiscal cliff were created was too create maximum political pressure to force congress to make a decision that it didn't end up making so now we're stuck with a series of proposals that were not properly crafted to help get the economy out of the crisis we're facing. and so that's why what you have laid out you laid it out today and in a very wise article in "the huffington post." explain to us what we should do short term and then what we can do in the medium term to long-term on the deficit. >> i think there ought to be a trigger. that is we do have to deal with the deficit at some point. obviously. but we ought to deal with the deficit when the econo

is an underutilized resource. not allowed to help you, but when you help others learn better. and it also gives the teacher a line of how the class is doing. it's hard to know where people are. you might be able to pull them and ask you questions, but it hard. blank faces, but now if you drive problems of a together you can do much more -- you can understand where students are and diagnose them. so that is the flip. what used to be a hallmark in the classroom, what used to be lectures are not home. it makes the class from interactive. students can take lectures at their time and pace. what i focus on a lot in the book is, let's go even further. still, even the flip the sense that all the students are going to cover the same material at the same pace together, and what i talk a lot about is, you know, we have all been indoctrinated in the system. and i'm not talking about, you know, a student teacher ratio or white charter or private republic but the system, grouping kids by age based to cover certain subjects us at pace to migrate them based on their variable understanding innkeepers in a forwa

. the underutilized recent archaeological findings at jefferson's estate, monticello, and jefferson's papers in his research. this is just over an hour. >> our guest speaker this afternoon is henry when seco will be talking about his book, must -- master of the mountain, thomas jefferson and his life's. it is a subject which the thomas jefferson foundation has been a pioneer in researching and presenting, thinks lawyers the to the work of stanton who has collected essays which were published earlier this year by the university of virginia press they are entitled, labor to my happiness, slavery and thomas jefferson's monticello. regarded an authority on the subject. her book was released to coincide with an exhibit on slavery in monticello and the smithsonian national museum of african american history, which was co curated by the staff of the thomas jefferson foundation. seventy of the descendants of those commemorated attended the opening nine. after 50 years of archaeological and historical research, thomas jefferson foundation is now in the next phase of interpretation and restoration projects f

labor underutilization, it is substantially higher. is around 14%, 15%. that shows that there are, even beyond the official unemployed, there are a lot more people that are out there struggling, looking for work, taking part- time work. host: we are taking more questions and comments on the numbers released this morning. we will go first to david on our line for democrats, north carolina. caller: good morning. i would like to know how the republican party got known for being job creators when the facts are more jobs have been created in this country under democratic administrations? guest: that is a good question. i think the issue is who speaks to the issues of the job creators out there. that is what both parties are vying for. if you look back at the dinner of the last 50 years, more jobs have been created under democratic presidents and under republican presidents. if you were to look back in the 1990's, you would see a huge boom in the job creation under president clinton. partly because he came out of -- he came president out of a recession. and had either the good fortune of over

the start teen 80s, we have added a broader set of measures of labor underutilization, which include people who have given up looking for jobs because they don't think one is available, includes people working part time but would a full-time job and haven't been able to find a full-time job. we have a whole suite of measures. the official unemployment rate i think it's economically quite meaningful if we look at the relationship between a host of other variables in the unemployment rate. we find pretty stable relationships. moreover, if we look at people -- people's behavior, the way economists like to judge measures, we find people who have searched for a job in the last for weeks are a lot more likely to make a transition to finding a job than people who say they would like a job but haven't looked in the last year. but these are economically meaningful measures. we have a whole suite people can look at a variety of these measures and import money, the unemployment rate has come down. woodpecker to come down more and the president has reposed actions to bring that down further. but they'r

, as stephanie pointed out. we have a vast excess supply of labor, a vast underutilization of capital equipment. one issue we need to face it is resource costs and energy prices, but that is not being driven by global use of the moment. it is being driven by other factors. i am not optimistic about the long-term potential growth. but is there a trade-off between what we should do to protect our elderly population and to provide adequate medical care to the whole population, and what we should do to protect our infrastructure and address energy and climate issues? no. we are underperforming on both fronts. >> it is not a budget trade- offs. as long as we think revenues can only be this high, there is a trade-off among those priorities. we have to accept having higher revenues to pay for the things we want. the softens that trade-off. impediments are not a drain on real resources. -- entitlements are not a drain on resources. they are a transfer. when we are at full capacity, we have a trade-off. the issue is, we think taxes should only be here. that was probably too low leading up to now. it is

underutilization of capital i equipment. the one issue we need to face is resource costs and energy prices. that is not a question which is being driven by overuse at the moment, it's being driven by other factors. i'm not as optimistic as stephanie is about the long-term potential path, but is there a trade-off between what we should do to protect our elderly population and to provide adequate medical care to the whole poppation and what we should do to reconstruct our infrastructure and address energy and climate issues? no. we are underperforming on both fronts. >> but there's a -- it's not a budget tear trade-off, it's -- budgetary trade-off, as long as we think revenues can only be this high, then there's a fight among those priorities. we have to accept having higher revenues to pay for the things we want. that softens that trade-off. the entitlements are not, are not a drain on real resources, they're a transfer. but there is a question of public sector investment versus what's going on in the private sector. when we're at full capacity, we have that trade-off. but the issue is, um,

? one minute. great. there's not enough work out there to meet the supply of underutilized workers, particularly non-college educated men. we have a workspace welfare system now in part coming out of some of thank you's work and i think that is a perfect legitimate social policy. but not if work does not exist. workspace welfare without work is a cruel hoax. would faced -- work based welfare with work can help the lives of low-income people. we saw this as a mission in the '90s during welfare reform. so i would propose that if the economy isn't creating enough jobs for low-income people, and it's the role of the public sector to create them. so we should have direct public service employment for folks who need were, want to work, who we want to work when there aren't enough jobs. instead of giving the money, create, create work -- create jobs for them. and believe me, there's enough work to be done in this economy and our infrastructure we could find good things for people to do. >> thank you very much.
